Spanish Studies and Mathematics - BA (Hons)

UK

What will I learn?

Lancaster’s joint Spanish Studies and Mathematics degree is taught by the School of Global Affairs in conjunction with the School of Mathematical Sciences. Your Spanish Studies programme gives you the opportunity to acquire high-level language skills while gaining a thorough understanding of the Spanish-speaking world in a global context. In Maths, you’ll study in-depth mathematical theory and practice and have the option to specialise in pure mathematics or statistics. Your first year comprises an exploration of the Spanish language and its cultural context, and core modules in Mathematics. Alongside these, you will study a minor subject of your choice. Building on your language skills in Year 2, you will study the culture, politics and history of the Spanish-speaking world in more depth, as well as selecting modules which are international in scope and promote a comparative understanding of Europe and beyond. You will combine these with Mathematics modules. Spending your third year abroad in a Spanish-speaking country gives you the opportunity to develop your language proficiency while deepening your intercultural sensitivity. You can study at a partner university or conduct a work placement. In your final year, you consolidate your Spanish language skills, and study specialist culture and comparative modules. You will also select Mathematics modules. You can find some examples of optional modules in the Course Structure section below. Beginners Languages Studying a language from beginners level is somewhat intense in nature so we only allow students to study one language from beginners level. Please bear this in mind when looking at our first year module options. If you apply to study a degree with a language from beginners level, your optional modules will only include higher level languages and modules in other subject areas.

Entry requirements

For international students

We normally require these grades: A levels - AAB. This should include A level Spanish, or if this is to be studied from beginners' level, you should have AS grade B or A level grade B in another foreign language, or GCSE grade 7/A in a foreign language. The A levels should include Mathematics grade A or Further Mathematics grade A. The overall offer grades will be lowered to ABB for applicants who achieve both Mathematics and Further Mathematics at grades AB, in either order; Access to HE Diploma - Considered on a case-by-case basis. Our typical requirement would be 36 Level 3 credits at Distinction plus 9 Level 3 credits at Merit, but you would need to have evidence that you had the equivalent of A level Mathematics grade A, and appropriate evidence of language ability; Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wale - We accept the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales in place of one A level, or equivalent qualification, as long as any subject requirements are met; BTEC Extended Diploma - DDD considered alongside A level Mathematics grade A or A level Further Mathematics grade A, and appropriate evidence of language ability; BTEC in combination with A levels - Our typical requirement would be A level grade B plus BTEC(s) at DD, or A levels at grade AB plus BTEC at D, but you would also need to meet the subject requirements; International Baccalaureate - 35 points overall with 16 points from the best 3 HL subjects including 6 in Mathematics HL (either analysis and approaches or applications and interpretations) and appropriate evidence of language ability; Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers - We are happy to admit applicants on the basis of five Highers, but where we require a specific subject at A level, we will typically require an Advanced Higher in that subject. If you do not meet the grade requirement through Highers alone, we will consider a combination of Highers and Advanced Highers in separate subjects; GCSE requirements - There are no specific GCSE requirements for this course, although we will look at your overall GCSE profile when considering your application as a whole.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
